1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:03,800 I'm Brandon. And I'm. 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,880 Jesse we're cannabis school having cannabis infused 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,200 conversations with everyday people, cannabis companies, 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,280 celebrities and your mom. Welcome to the sesh. 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,960 Welcome back, kids. So we're going to be talking 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,320 about, well, we're going to be talking about why things suck in 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,040 quality and possibly where we might be going next. 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,640 So Brandon and I were discussing right before we got on was about 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,120 the quality of products. And, and we tend to blame China, 10 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:35,560 you know, like, oh, this is any product from China. 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,240 But you know, to be honest, I don't think it's that cut and 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,840 dry, man. You know, I mean we talked about 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,040 it, the quality back then you were talking about like 14 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,960 intricate carvings and wood and wood being wood like those were 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,840 I. Just looked at like, so I've got 16 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,040 two dressers or in it, a night, a night stand and a dresser. 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,800 And these were made by Grandpa Holt. 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,640 Now Grandpa Holt was not a master Craftsman. 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,040 He was a woodworker. He was nothing along any of 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,440 those. And yet this dresser and the 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,320 night stand that I have from him that he made are way more 22 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:15,480 intricate, way more detailed, way more handiwork that goes 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,640 into those than anything that I've bought in the last 20-30 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,360 years from any other store. And I look at it and I go, why? 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,560 Why is it that we've gone from the I want Craftsman, I want 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,680 intricate work, I want delicate work. 27 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,560 I want something beautiful to hey, where's my McDonald's made 28 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,000 table? Hey, where's my IKEA made 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,760 dresser? Hey, where's my Burger King bed? 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,280 Like we want it fast. We want it now, we want it 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640 cheap. But at the end of the day, we're 32 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,600 you know, how many years into you bought that IKEA table and 33 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,720 well, it's six months old, but the legs are loose and wiggling 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,960 and, you know, things are falling apart. 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680 It's the same with a lot of products nowadays, you know, 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,120 like you said, how much of it is moving to China? 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,320 But I wonder did that, do you think that started in the 80s 38 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,320 that we were just like, hey, how can we find a cheaper method of 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,400 doing this? Because so much like I think of 40 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,360 when my dad was growing up, his dad like incredibly hard 41 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,720 workers, a lot of like, hey, and same with your dad, it was like 42 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,280 a lot, a lot of hard work. And so where did we go from all 43 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,440 of this hard work to like the products and the things that we 44 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,280 buy don't seem to have hard work put into it. 45 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,240 Often it's scraping the bottom of the barrel, you know? 46 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Well, and like, I was thinking about it too, like when I'd said 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,080 that, you know, it's like Dad, when we start seeing like a lot 48 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,360 of the mass products start coming out here into the 'cause 49 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600 I, I did a little bit of search on that one and it made sense. 50 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,200 So after World War One, World War Two, we were literally the 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,720 only industrialized country that was still left standing. 52 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,280 Yeah, the cut by country because we this during this time was 53 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,480 more industrialized. You got to know that like in 19, 54 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,880 in the 1950s, Mexico was barely coming out of where they were 55 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560 before the Industrial Revolution. 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,720 They were still pretty old school for a very long time. 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 My dad grew up. I remember when I was a kid 58 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000 visiting Mexico when I was 8 years old, and my dad's like, 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,520 hey, you going to take a shower? You can shower the way that we 60 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,080 did. And I thought it was a joke and 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,040 that, you know, there'd be a warm shower next day. 62 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,840 Nope. It was in the backyard outside 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,200 their door. And you saw a stall was like an 64 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,560 overhang in a stall or dog. There's a giant pit bull named 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960 Terry with the head the size of a fucking horse. 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,960 And then you've got the next stall is pigs. 67 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,720 And then the next stall was your bathroom, the the shower. 68 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,640 And there was a a drain in the ground. 69 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,680 There was some tile floor, old tile that they put there 70 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,800 manually. Or was it like cement 71 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,080 underneath? Almost like a cement thing, but 72 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,280 I mean, it's old school cement, old, old. 73 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,320 Clay and whatever they yeah, they make it out of. 74 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200 Kind of like a French drain underneath it to just kind of 75 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,720 let everything go into the soil. But dude it I like. 76 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,360 He poured water on top of me and he goes. 77 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,640 Water on top of you. It's like a bucket and so like 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,400 that's. Wild. 79 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,640 Yeah, that. I mean, I'm sure that they had a 80 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,000 tub every once in a while, but that's the way they did things. 81 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,800 He was poor, struggling. Country whole different world 82 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,680 and that. Country was coming in literally 83 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,720 it. It's not necessary. 84 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,760 It's more like a Second World than it would be a third world 85 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,320 today. But it was truly a third world 86 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,520 at that time where they didn't have a lot of things. 87 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,200 Well, there's still probably sections of Mexico that are 88 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,760 third world because when I went down there even there was still 89 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,320 third world. But I was that's still been 16 90 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,240 years, 17 years. You also have to know that a lot 91 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,840 of these countries, the socialist countries, communist 92 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,160 countries, the disparaging from poor to rich is even wider than 93 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,720 it is in the United States. I mean for us that are in 94 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,880 poverty level in the United States, we're still considered 95 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,080 like upper class, upper middle. Any other like third world 96 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,920 country? Yeah. 97 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,880 Oh yeah. Well, 'cause when I see the 98 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,600 cardboard lean TOS and that in other countries and and I've 99 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,560 gone and locked doors in like Louisville, KY and other 100 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,680 outskirts of there where it was just I'd never experienced a 101 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,240 ghetto like that in the States. I'd seen it in other countries, 102 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,600 but the United States, I was like, holy shit, this is 103 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,960 rundown. This is people have tarps 104 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,200 covering holes in their home. Like this is, to me, it felt 105 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,680 like Second World country, you know, barely above those third 106 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,240 world countries where you're like, OK, they've got some form 107 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,480 of shelter. You know, there's running water 108 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,560 and power. But like there's like boards 109 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,440 leaning up covering stuff. There's tarps covering half 110 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,120 their roof. There's all these things. 111 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,520 And I'm like, what? What is this? 112 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,440 It's not the world that you or I grew up in, you know, even here. 113 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,240 Well, and that, that that kind of makes sense, you know, where 114 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,280 you think back past, you know, with World War 2, everybody's 115 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:18,000 decimated. And you really got to think 116 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,040 about it. England was bombed like crazy by 117 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,840 Germany. France, Europe was, yeah. 118 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,680 All of Europe was destroyed, Italy destroyed. 119 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,560 Like these places were completely just. 120 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,720 Do. You got it. 121 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,720 So here's my thought. Just popped in my head because 122 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,760 Notre Dame. Notre Dame got burned down in 123 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,040 the last decade or so, yeah. That's longer. 124 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:42,240 Yeah, but I got to see Notre Dame before that. 125 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,560 I was in France back in. God, When did Alec graduate? 126 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,640 Long time ago, 18 years, something like that. 19 years. 127 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,080 But even then, I'm thinking about bombings, like how many of 128 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,520 those buildings do you think were destroyed even back then 129 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,360 that it was like, oh, they had to come in, rebuild refix 130 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,480 because that's got to be such a pain even back in God. 131 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,200 When did the World War 2 end? Late 40s or was it early? 132 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,000 1945 OK 19. 45 So, you know, I was thinking about that, but 133 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,640 then I was also thinking about like, OK, well, when did Model T 134 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Ford come into play 'cause I know way. 135 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,800 Earlier. Yeah, Mustang was the first. 136 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,640 Mustang was 1964. So you know, we're literally 137 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,920 1015 years after the end of the war. 138 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Well, and that's funny too, you know that the Mustang was 139 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,920 actually created the designer for the Mustang. 140 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,640 You know why we have the horse on the Mustang? 141 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,800 A lot of people don't know this. This is kind of crazy. 142 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,000 The reason why we have the horse is that the guy who designed it, 143 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,680 was it one of the last in the actual horse cavalry they went 144 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,920 to fight against like tanks and stuff like that or? 145 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,000 World War. One. 146 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,040 Yeah, he was a Nazi. What? 147 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Henry Ford was a known supporter of the Nazi Party big time. 148 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,640 He donated a lot of money, a lot of the New York bank, stuff like 149 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,600 that. They, they sponsored it because 150 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,080 they believed in whatever they were doing. 151 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,080 It wasn't all like killed Jews. It was just a lot of like 152 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,120 control and stuff, like it was just a slow onset that took 153 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,160 over. Do you guys know what today is 154 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,480 for us? Today for us is 710. 155 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,440 By the way, happy dab day, happy oil day. 156 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,080 I hope you guys are using some. Concentrate. 157 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,880 Concentrate. I'm rocking the doctor dabber 158 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,720 switch. I've been using some live resin 159 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,159 batter Super booth this morning, just kind of yeah, getting the 160 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:42,799 flash. I'm rocking some Pineapple 161 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:46,040 Express in a live resin. Part. 162 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,800 I don't normally, but I'm in, I'm in a different location. 163 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,760 I'm actually in my closet today. So I was just like, I'm just 164 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,400 trying to find the best place to be quiet and wouldn't have any 165 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,920 distractions. So this is perfect. 166 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,360 Yeah. But to go back to what? 167 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800 What, from what I've learned about it, and I'll give the 168 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,280 short summarized version, is that after World War 2, we've 169 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,320 decimated everywhere. Pretty much everywhere thinks 170 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,560 that we're going to turn into, like the next empire. 171 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,920 You think back to, like, England. 172 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,400 If England took over any place or went into some area and 173 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,080 decimated it, well, they just planted their flag, you know? 174 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:22,520 Yeah, well, dude, I mean, think about all the. 175 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,720 Places anyone. Rome, Kangas, Khan, any, any 176 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160 conquerors just like, OK, we're here now. 177 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,720 Welcome back to home. But we didn't do that. 178 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,120 We actually told everybody, hey, look, here's what we're going to 179 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,040 do. We're going to protect the seas. 180 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,640 Because before that the the seas were just kind of open wherever 181 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520 you lived. A lot of people didn't transport 182 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,320 certain things because of fate of piracy. 183 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,600 Piracy is still around today, but at that time it was still 184 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,760 pretty prevalent. And so the US said, hey, look, 185 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,080 we're going to do, we're going to protect the seas because we 186 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,520 have the largest standing Navy that's lasted compared to 187 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,440 anybody else's and we're going to patrol the seas. 188 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,680 That made sense to me, understanding that when I served 189 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,280 in the Navy, because why in the fuck am I going over by 190 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,160 Southeast Asia, Australia into, you know, the Mediterranean? 191 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,040 Why am I here? Yeah, and it's just going around 192 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,480 and and naval ships will go out at the time, they'll go out for 193 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,360 like 6 to 9 months and they'll do a full deployment. 194 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,880 Usually six months is like a, a Westpac or a RIMPAC and Westpac 195 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,240 meaning we're going West, RIMPAC, meaning we're going that 196 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,320 side you're going east is rim. No, that's not a rim. 197 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,120 That's that's a Med cruise. Yeah, Mediterranean cruise. 198 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,520 So it's a Med cruise and, and RIMPAC is something completely 199 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,280 different else anyways. But when we would go out, it 200 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,440 just kind of felt weird like, oh, we're just traveling around, 201 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,120 right? Well, no, we're doing our job. 202 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,200 We were supporting this policing effort that has been going on 203 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,000 since World War 2. And during that time we told 204 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,720 everybody we're like, hey, you rebuilt. 205 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,520 We helped real rebuild Japan, England, Germany, France. 206 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,760 We went out there and helped them rebuild everything American 207 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,960 scene. So we rebuilt everything. 208 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120 We we helped them rebuild. And then after that we said, 209 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,760 hey, look, don't worry about it. You guys can start trading. 210 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,400 We would like you to start selling your goods to us. 211 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,760 So then they started to do manufacturing over in their 212 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,760 countries, which still to stimulate their economy. 213 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,680 And our economy was already doing great because we sold 214 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:35,640 weapons, bombs, munitions. We sold planes and tanks and 215 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,000 everything you can think of. We sold it to other countries 216 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,880 during the war because they didn't have anything. 217 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:45,760 They didn't have the, the, the, the build up that we went into 218 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,120 and we were planning for it well before, you know, Pearl Harbor. 219 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,240 Pearl Harbor was an Army base that was attacked. 220 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,840 It was in a Navy base or Marine base. 221 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,360 It was Army, Army, Army Air Corps. 222 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,800 That's cool. Crazy thing, huh? 223 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,920 Before the Air Force, it was the Army Air Corps. 224 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,600 And after all that people started making stuff. 225 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,440 And so when I started looking into is actually like the 19 226 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:13,080 like from the 1950s to the 1960s was made in Japan. 227 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,800 So that's we start to see like the automotive. 228 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,960 Ministry change back in the 30s, there's a term that was planned 229 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,800 obsolescence and it was coined back in the 1930s and it was 230 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,960 kind of perfected up through the 2000s. 231 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,040 And basically that concept was why fix something for $100 if 232 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,360 you can replace it for 99? And so they started making 233 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,680 things like, well, phones like iPhones where the batteries 234 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:43,920 glued in versus your Nokia where you could put in a new battery. 235 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,080 It became things of they used to send you, hey, well, there's a 236 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,680 warranty and here's a, a user manual on how to fix it 237 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,840 yourself. Now we get void if opened 238 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,520 warranty stickers that are on there and a 12 month replacement 239 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,400 period going, hey, well, you can swap this out for a brand new 240 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,320 one in 12 months. We've joined this landfill cycle 241 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,600 versus the fix it yourself replace a part or you know, just 242 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,760 keep this lasting forever. We went from steel cars and 243 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,440 wooden tables and that to MDF and particle board and and like 244 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,160 aluminum covered appliances and stuff too. 245 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,800 So nothing lasts the same as it used to. 246 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,600 It's this whole mindset of like, well if you can buy a new one 247 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,360 from this business, we can just make it cheaper and sell more 248 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,920 products versus just selling a bunch of replacement parts. 249 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,560 But then what do our landfills end up with? 250 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,760 Like tons of just random unneeded shit. 251 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,280 That's a year or two old like we used stuff. 252 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,280 Yeah, no, I throughout my searching too, dude. 253 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,760 I mean, I, I was pretty spot on. The 1980s is when it really 254 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,120 kicked off and it was great because I, you know, it's the 255 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,080 disposable culture, it's what it's claimed as, right? 256 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,520 And that's the rise of Walmart. If you think back to Walt 257 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,560 Whitman, who I don't think it's Walt Whitman. 258 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:10,960 Do you remember life before Walmart here? 259 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,720 Or do you remember how long? I don't remember when it came in 260 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,720 because it's like I, I don't know. 261 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,920 The only places I remember as a kid growing up here in Utah was 262 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,200 down. On Center St. in. 263 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,360 Provo was a Woolworth where the Nuskin building is. 264 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:33,160 Woolworth was a It was kind of like Walgreens and you know it. 265 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,000 It's funny because Chris Rock made a joke about a long time 266 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000 ago in the 90s, and he goes man out, out in the hood, you know, 267 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,520 in in the ghetto, all you've got is a Woolworths. 268 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,640 We didn't have a ball. We just had a Woolworths and the 269 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,120 only thing they had in Woolworths was sneakers and baby 270 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,240 clothes. All they thought we'd do was 271 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,080 running and fucking. That's funny. 272 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,400 But it, it just, it literally dude, like that was the only 273 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,040 place I have fond memories of that place because I, I remember 274 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,720 I would get like Star Wars toys that were sold in the stores at 275 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,600 the time, not because they were retro, because it was out and 276 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,320 they just those movies just came out. 277 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480 And so I remember going there, getting that and and then there 278 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,680 was a Kmart up north. I remember I remember Shopko, I 279 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,920 remember Sears, I remember the reams in the weird Dome one, I 280 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,040 remember the reams on center. But like I don't honestly 281 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,800 remember Walmart. If I I remember it was in there 282 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,720 when I was like early teens, maybe even earlier than that. 283 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,640 But the. Honestly, smaller one, the 284 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,680 smaller one came in. When was that? 285 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,160 It was an American fork, but it was the smaller ones off the 286 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,120 side. But even then, like I remember 287 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,040 that even after the Navy in my 20s, like I remember seeing it 288 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,200 there and now it's which is funny because my kid went to 289 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,640 high school and that was the high school. 290 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,320 The old Walmart had been turned into holy. 291 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,360 Shit, you know, it's funny. I was Addie and I went and drove 292 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,800 Alpine Loop and we were cruising through PG and we drove past the 293 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,200 old Leahona building and I was like, you want to see where I 294 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,400 went to high school? And she's like, what? 295 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,520 And I showed her and she's like that that was a school because 296 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,160 it's literally like smaller than my parents house. 297 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,920 Yeah, yeah, dude, totally. And it's it's kind of funny like 298 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,880 you brought up Kmart and Dollar Tree apparent Dollar Tree 299 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,920 started in the 80s. I didn't know that, but goods 300 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,520 from China sold in large amount and the whole thing was just 301 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,840 like you said, buy it cheap, replace it later. 302 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,800 The 1900, the the 1990s to the 2000s is when the factory world 303 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,200 NAFTA, open trade with Mexico started happening. 304 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,880 So you started to see like more mass produced products going out 305 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,480 throughout the world. And I think that's around that 306 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,360 time where we started to see the quality. 307 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,920 Like I remember in the 90s, like the quality of things such as 308 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,080 food and stuff like that was vastly different from when I was 309 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,920 growing up in the 80s. And then you go on like it. 310 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,800 It's almost as perpetual thing. Like the more that we create, 311 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,600 the more brittle and the more tasteless that things become. 312 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,119 And 'cause our creation isn't for like, it's to make things 313 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240 more convenient and to make it faster. 314 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,839 It's not to make life better always. 315 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:18,200 It's to make money. It's 100% to make money. 316 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,040 Which is unfortunate because there is so much room for 317 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,800 development of products that make life better. 318 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,480 Well, it's. Cheaper. 319 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,480 Not just faster, but right, better. 320 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560 And if you're having to buy something over and over and 321 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,880 over, so then you're having to go to work, well, how many hours 322 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,400 to buy something over and over and over versus buying something 323 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,680 once? And I, and I was thinking about, 324 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,960 as we were talking like, man, I bet, I bet your dad was the same 325 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,680 as mine where you didn't go buy something new. 326 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,560 You fixed it. Like how many of us grew up 327 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,520 where our dad was fixing something often he wasn't going 328 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,080 to the store and buying a new one. 329 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,040 He was fixing it. He was fixing this, He was 330 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,680 fixing that. He was the man who knew how to 331 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,360 do everything because you just worked on and fixed things 332 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,520 because it wasn't you threw it out and bought a new one. 333 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,040 You, you know, and that's we have this weird society that 334 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,760 it's like that now it's, it's fucking, it's like dating. 335 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,000 Hey, Tinder.

But we had that before and I 360 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,720 think that products they because the shelf like like bread, for 361 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,000 instance, like the bastarization of bread. 362 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,120 Like if you go, you've been to, for those of you that have 363 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:52,800 travelled to Europe or Mexico or any other place other than the 364 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,800 United States, I don't know about Australia or England 365 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,160 anymore, but it's all like real bread, real bread. 366 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,320 And it doesn't stay on. Your shelf friends. 367 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:09,760 They're like fresh bakeries. I had sandwiches all the time in 368 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,160 Italy. I had pasta and pizza every 369 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,920 fucking day. But I didn't feel like crap. 370 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,920 But yeah, I can have the same thing here and I'm like, oh, I 371 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,200 feel like shit. Cool. 372 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,200 Well, it's like what we we've talked about too, right? 373 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,800 It's the addiction to comfort that we have like, you know that 374 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,480 it's like that pondering I had the comfortable collapse, this 375 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,840 idea that I had for like how society is moving into despair 376 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,360 because of comfort. Like it's kind of fight. 377 00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:43,320 It's like nature self correcting itself because the economy is, 378 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:46,560 is very much like nature in many ways. 379 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,240 It's unpredictable. It will move at a moment's 380 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,600 notice. Everybody thinks that the, the, 381 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,920 the stock market controls everything. 382 00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,840 No, it's all fake. It's all in these, it's all 383 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,040 based on probabilities, possibilities, maybe more 384 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,920 likely. And it's not just random stuff 385 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,480 that the the companies that command the most, you know, it's 386 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,720 despite like your goods like orange juice, coffee, wheat, 387 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,920 sugar, like rice, those ones are huge, huge, huge, huge. 388 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,120 Those are legacy markets that you can't buy into. 389 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,320 You have to be given it. But these new companies, they 390 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,880 just don't provide any. They don't make anything 391 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,400 anymore, You know, like if we talked about computer, if we 392 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,200 talked about software companies, we could talk about dozens and 393 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,880 dozens of. Softwares and hundreds. 394 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,600 Right. But if you were to talk about 395 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,720 the companies that can actually produce the materials to be able 396 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,640 to run that stuff, Oh yeah, Now we're pretty small. 397 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,320 It's like when you learn who actually manufacturers the chips 398 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,840 that go into like computers and you're like, Oh yeah, this is 399 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,480 one company who does all of these or like all of this stuff 400 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,320 and you'll go, OK, well it is. Or when you look at like who 401 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,440 makes the food and, and who holds those? 402 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,680 And you're like, oh, it's one or two big, really large companies 403 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,800 who hold every company underneath these that are 404 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,040 umbrella all the way down. But it is just really large, a 405 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,800 few really large ones. And maybe it's just been us as 406 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:24,160 society, as humans as as pushing up for it, pushing it because I 407 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,280 always hated this term. And maybe it's because it's 408 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,520 always reminded me of my grandparents and my family, but 409 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,920 keeping up with the Joneses because my grandpa would always 410 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,120 growing up, it was always, he always needed to have the 411 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:40,120 newest, best TV. He'd always had like custom 412 00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:43,400 ordered Cadillacs sent to his house, all of this stuff that I 413 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,680 was like, oh, grandpa's rich. That's what my mind told me. 414 00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:51,240 But then I realized and it was like, Oh, well, his friend 415 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,080 Albert got, he sold his, his Benz and so he got a Rolls 416 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,120 Royce. Well, grandpa didn't have a 417 00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,000 Rolls Royce. So then he bought like a 418 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,320 $300,000 motorhome. But then Albert bought like a 419 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,640 half $1,000,000 motorhome. And so grandpa bought like, you 420 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,640 know, it was like all these things you're like, but that's 421 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,800 the same thing our society does. Oh, hey, I've got the new 422 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,640 iPhone, I've got the new Apple Watch. 423 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,520 Oh, look at my look at my Airpods. 424 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,080 And people see that and they're like, oh, look at this brand 425 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,880 they're wearing, look at this label they're wearing. 426 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,160 Look at this piece of property that gives them value and clout 427 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,800 and, you know, importance. Why? 428 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,480 Why is any of this shit important? 429 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,800 Why does it matter The brand, the label, the the power used to 430 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,400 it? Used to like, I mean, do you 431 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,520 think back in the day where if somebody had a Rolex watch, 432 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,840 you're like, dude, but now nobody could give a shit about 433 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,520 your watch unless it's got cool electronic features and it 434 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,920 attaches to your phone? Can it track? 435 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,640 You can. Yeah, right. 436 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,920 Can it take a picture? Can it do this? 437 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,800 Oh, what's your heart rate at with it? 438 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Can it do that? Oh, no. 439 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,400 OK. You're so we're so consumed with 440 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,760 with entertainment and it's in comfort that we'll even put our 441 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,480 cell phone camera into a fucking sunglasses so we can always see 442 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,360 because it it would be too obvious for me to hold around my 443 00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:18,200 phone. Now I want to record people in 444 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,240 secret and it it literally is that dude. 445 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:27,600 It's we have comforted ourselves into a obese diabetic heart 446 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,280 problem written losing hair like it's falling out on fire and 447 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,440 having a really difficult time having kids. 448 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,640 Like I don't remember ever a time. 449 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,360 Where people have. Not everywhere. 450 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:40,920 Everywhere. It is everywhere. 451 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,960 Everywhere. I feel like America's like the 452 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,320 leader in that, and everyone's just like following. 453 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,600 They're like, hey, OK, America's doing it. 454 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,600 That must be cool, right? And that stems from World War 2, 455 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,880 because when we say we came in, you know, yeah, everybody else 456 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,480 helped out. But if Americans weren't been 457 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,880 there, that shit would have been going on a lot longer. 458 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,520 Matter of fact that the British wanted this involved way 459 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,560 earlier. A lot of other the European 460 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,280 like, please. And they're like, no, no, I 461 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,640 don't know. I don't know. 462 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,960 But we got in. That's when it changed 463 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,840 everything. And the reason why we were 464 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,800 seeing this so powerful is we were able to fight three 465 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,160 different separate wars in different theaters at the exact 466 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,640 same time. In Kick Das, in Africa, in 467 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,280 Japan, in the Philippines, in in Europe. 468 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,320 We do. We were fucking it up, right? 469 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,240 We were terrifying. The Chinese loved us. 470 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,360 Because the Japanese, Have you met us? 471 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,920 We're fucking crazy. Well, dude, that, that's a lot 472 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,840 of them. Like even during like I think it 473 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,400 was Iwo Jima and stuff like that, they were telling the 474 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,480 Japanese that they had to get insane people from insane 475 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,880 asylums to join the Marine Corps. 476 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,480 What the fuck? That they were crazy and they 477 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,320 would come. After you. 478 00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:59,400 And then the reports from people that saw them, like other 479 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,360 soldiers, they said no, they're not mentally ill. 480 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:05,400 They're demons. They're terrifying because 481 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,720 American Marines still to this day are by far the most scary 482 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,480 fighting force on this planet. Anybody can say something like 483 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,200 spets and us don't have the manpower, don't have the 484 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,480 craziness, don't have the Brotherhood. 485 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,520 Like these guys are from a different era. 486 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,840 These are like Roman Centurion. These are like Spartan guys, 487 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,560 except without all the gayness. Well, not all the gay baby. 488 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080 I just, I saw the funniest video. 489 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,000 It said I had this lady and then I had a dude dressed up in 490 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,640 military clothes and it was like, oh, so have you been 491 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,880 saying, yeah, can you confirm that since 701775 that Marines 492 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,880 have been helping fat chicks get laid? 493 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,520 And it was like negative, negative, negative. 494 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,840 Fat chicks have been helping Marines get laid since 1770. 495 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,880 Five. And then he spits and he spits 496 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,440 and do his coffee goes next question. 497 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,760 Yeah. I saw that this morning and I 498 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,680 just about died laughing.

Detroit used to be the future 508 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,040 city. Like Detroit was the place you 509 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,200 wanted to go. Fuck LA, fuck Beverly Hills. 510 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,920 You wanted to live in Detroit because that's where the money 511 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,360 was made. And now it's. 512 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,280 Dude, it's worse than base. Yeah, it's. 513 00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:48,960 Yeah, high rise projects, tons of crime. 514 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,680 It's not a safe place to be. And it's not because, you know, 515 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,560 the the people were completely ruined, is it? 516 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,440 These are generations of people growing up in these areas and 517 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,480 now you want them to leave? It would be like for me living 518 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,360 in Utah. So like for you, you're like, 519 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,400 oh, I gladly leave here, but I I don't, I wouldn't want. 520 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,600 To yes and no like I, I love the idea of moving outside of the 521 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,160 culture. But for me, I also, I love the 522 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:20,160 mountains and I, we live in an area that we are surrounded by 523 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:26,000 mountains and for me to get that is really hard to find in 524 00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:28,920 everywhere else. So yes, right I. 525 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,840 Montana kind of seems, but Montana is like a ghost town 526 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,880 too. Dude, there's nobody. 527 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,240 In Montana, but that's because for me, I look at it and I go, I 528 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,320 have just gone. I'd be okay distancing myself 529 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,040 from the culture some and that doesn't bother me where you were 530 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,720 still intertwined very much with that. 531 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,960 I could see that, no, and your wife's family's here and her 532 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,320 like all of that. So I get it. 533 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,080 Like I totally understand that, but for me it was. 534 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,800 A lot of places. Oh yeah, I've just traveled 535 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,560 places and I've only lived in Kentucky for like 6 months but 536 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,040 that was still enough and I was like, it is beautiful Emily. 537 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,400 In other places, I don't have to live here. 538 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,760 Yes, I can live here, but I also might not want to live in this 539 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,960 valley because this valley is also the pollution's gross. 540 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,040 I think that's one of my least favorite things Now, the 541 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,880 community, the people. If I don't, if you're going to 542 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,040 be an asshole, I'm honestly just not going to care. 543 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,960 I'm probably not going to let it bother me and I'm probably just 544 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,200 going to smoke weed and say boom, fuck off. 545 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,760 I I don't really care. So whether it's in this valley 546 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,040 or another one or anywhere else, I think at this time I've 547 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,720 distanced myself away from the community that that's not the 548 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,760 worst part. It's our air quality is pure 549 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160 shit. Whether it's summertime or 550 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,240 winter time, I go outside and I look and our air is garbage. 551 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:55,680 And where I'm at is the, and where you're at is the busiest 552 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,160 areas and they're still just continuing to grow. 553 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,040 So I'm like, yeah, where I'm at is not necessarily where I want 554 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,400 to be, is it? Bat? 555 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,680 No, I'm 10 minutes from the mountains. 556 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,280 You know, I'm 5 minutes from anything and like everything. 557 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,080 And I can escape to there. I can do all of these things 558 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,840 within that. So there's a silver lining to 559 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,600 that. But there's the other side of 560 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,000 like, Oh yeah, but I'm also cluster fucked in the middle of 561 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:32,160 town and and the air, I hate the air here because I've got not 562 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,120 the best Oh yeah, dude, air pathways. 563 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,320 So I feel that and I feel like that irritates my constant nasal 564 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,200 drip and or perpetuates that. So I'm like, you know, for me, 565 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,320 I'm like, how much nicer would it be to not live in cluster 566 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,240 fuck Central to Utah, probably a lot better. 567 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,240 So, well, no, no, no, I get that, I get that. 568 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,040 No, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pulse back onto what we were 569 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,200 originally taught 'cause we have to go off on a tangent there, 570 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,480 but. Thank you, Super Booth. 571 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,800 Yeah. No, here's my theory on on why 572 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,680 we've gone backwards, the Berlin Wall, and I'll, I'll explain 573 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,040 that. Once World War 2 ended, free 574 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,400 trade opened up. That's when free trade opened 575 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,040 up. Now countries were allowed to 576 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,880 start being able to move mass exports outside of their country 577 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640 in barges and boats. A lot of them are starting to 578 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,400 get industrialized because America was buying things and 579 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,560 then Europe started to buy things after they started to 580 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,280 recover. And then everybody started 581 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,080 growing and everybody was really cool until the red threat 582 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,400 started to go away in the 80s. And that's when we started 583 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,480 seeing like a lot more things coming out and then more cheap 584 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,480 products. And then we start seeing more 585 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,520 like I remember there was a scare of like lead paint on kids 586 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,240 toys in the 90s and when that started to come out, then you. 587 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,160 Had the same as like asbestos and everything else. 588 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,840 We have products that were used for a while that were just 589 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,240 probably made without being tested with actual. 590 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,440 Lead, not graphite. Yeah, right. 591 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,040 I mean, these things were they were different. 592 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,800 We, I mean, dude, like you think back to the things that we used 593 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,200 to do in the United States, there were these clocks that 594 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,480 would glow in the dark. Do you know what they painted it 595 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,960 with? Glow in the dark stuff? 596 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,200 Uranium. And you know what they did with 597 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,720 it? They brushed it on by hand. 598 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,160 Women would do that. I guess there was still a lot of 599 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,600 trade prior to World War 2, but it was more like colonialism and 600 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,280 free trade, not. But not mass trade like where 601 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,320 we're at now. That wasn't even possible. 602 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,520 Britain didn't trade with India, they extracted. 603 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,240 Like certain places wouldn't actually trade, I'm sure. 604 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,440 So maybe there's a more globalization of it because 605 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,520 before it was more like luxury trading. 606 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,320 This is now we live in the mass consumption. 607 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,360 And I think that's what changed in the World War Two time is we 608 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,200 got into mass consumption, you know, because prior to that we 609 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,480 had the Great Depression, you know, not too long prior to 610 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,840 World War 2 even, you know. Yeah, it was. 611 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,240 I mean, we were in it. Yeah. 612 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,360 So, so you're looking at that and it's like, OK, well that 613 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,400 wasn't that bad. And then right before that was 614 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,480 World War One. And then, you know, how long 615 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,040 before that was the civil? Like there's really a lot of 616 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,920 wars that were in succession of just a lot of continuous, you 617 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,640 know, people fighting around the world and there's still wars. 618 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,600 But like, I feel like there's been a lot of that changing that 619 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,720 maybe 'cause that is like there was so much more consumerism 620 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,320 that came into the world right after World War 2 that it just 621 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,760 would have to expand, you know, the routes and everything that 622 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,480 we've been doing. Because it became from just a, a 623 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,360 luxury thing into this hole where we are now, You know, oh, 624 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,480 I want 20 pairs of shoes or 50 pairs of shoes. 625 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,000 And I want, you know, your grandpa, my grandpa, there's no 626 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,560 fucking way they would have had as many pairs of shoes or shirts 627 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:05,360 or watches as. Like kind of being the 628 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,199 superpower that it is today has not been very long at all. 629 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,040 It's been very short time, maybe 30 years. 630 00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:16,600 And and the reason why was this over industrialization. 631 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,760 But the reason why I bring up the Berlin Wall is that we had 632 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,719 this agreement with everybody in the world, like, hey, free trade 633 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,920 for you, we'll protect you, we'll take care of you. 634 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,960 This is before NATO and all that other shit. 635 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,120 But then when we started to say also, but if you side with the 636 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,040 Russians, we're not with you. Venezuela, Cuba, any other 637 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,120 communist country, Vietnam, all these other places, we wouldn't 638 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,239 trade with them. We're just like, Nope, you're 639 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,920 cut off. And because America was the 640 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,400 biggest consumer, still is, then it started to be able to change. 641 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:56,120 Well, now what we're seeing is it's going backwards and we are, 642 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,640 you know, where they're like, oh, who's going to work these 643 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,440 factories and all that other stuff. 644 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,120 Don't worry about that. You see the push of robotics and 645 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,600 AI, Don't worry about it. Don't even worry about it. 646 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,880 Those will be taken care of. Like I heard the most 647 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,680 interesting theory about Elon Musk and why he does all the 648 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,520 things that he does. And he's a really smart 649 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,960 scientist guy and he goes, dude, that guy is he is next level 650 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,440 genius. He's like, why does a guy who 651 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,080 makes rockets use the Boring Company? 652 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,800 The Boring Company digs tunnels underneath Los Angeles, they 653 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,240 say, for mass transit. It's because he has a million 654 00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:34,360 different entities, I'm sure for a million different things, or 655 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,840 at least a handful, but. Listen to this like you've got a 656 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,600 company that digs holes underground. 657 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,680 You've also got a company that has Jet Propulsion. 658 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,840 You have a a company that's. Developing research Inner Earth 659 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:51,000 you can research space you can, you know, see all sorts. 660 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,360 Of things about this, if you want to have some, he's got a 661 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,000 solar company too. So if you want to go to Mars, 662 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,120 who's going to build everything over there and where are you 663 00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,600 going to live? It's not going to be on the top 664 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:00,200 of the surface. It's. 665 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,480 Going to be underground. How are you going to build these 666 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,800 places? Well, you're not going to do it 667 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,600 with people. You're going to send robots. 668 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,040 Are you going to power everything? 669 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,960 Well, you're going to do it with solar panels. 670 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,440 So it's like solar and wind, because the winds are crazy. 671 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,080 So it's like he was. They all make sense. 672 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,680 With his long term plan, yeah, you just have to look, step back 673 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,080 and see the broader picture. Cool. 674 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,400 What he. But what? 675 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,000 But again, that makes sense because it's like when we've 676 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,480 talked about, well, if we did this, we'd need this for this 677 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,400 and this for this, and we'd actually do this. 678 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,920 And it's like, oh, OK, yeah, that makes a lot of sense 679 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,400 because and if you have that money, you would have that 680 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,320 because it it makes, you can't have that narrow of a mindset 681 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,440 and have that much money. I don't think you because you 682 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,960 have to have way too many moving parts, too many ideas, too many 683 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,120 things you're working on building, creating. 684 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,360 Otherwise you won't. You wouldn't have that much 685 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,280 money. Yeah, well, and and I mean, but 686 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,200 he doesn't. You couldn't. 687 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,960 To like you, you find videos of Elon in the early 90s when he 688 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,520 sold one of his first companies. Like there's literally this 689 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,480 video, if you could find it. I remember where Elon, like 690 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,880 young Elon, he looks so goofy, super skinny. 691 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,440 He looked like he was in oversized clothes and he was all 692 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,480 excited because his McLaren was being delivered to his house. 693 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,960 And it was the McLaren where it was like single seat McLaren was 694 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,840 like almost like a race. Cam. 695 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,520 It was the coolest car at that time and he was so excited 696 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,640 because he could buy that this guy bought Gene Wilder's house. 697 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,160 If anybody knows who Gene Wilder, he's a comedy genius. 698 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,840 And you go back and watch, see no evil, hear no evil. 699 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,320 That's a funny ass movie, but in the 1980s. 700 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,280 But Gene Wilder's home, like he, he bought it after he died and 701 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,200 the seller was like, we'll sell it to you, but you can't change 702 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,120 anything in the house. It has to stay the way the gene 703 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,120 made it. And he's like, OK. 704 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,520 And then when he went through his downsizing because he 705 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,320 doesn't, he lives in like pretty much a teeny tiny place and he 706 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,440 just rents places. But he is just, he sold all of 707 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,600 his homes, all of his properties, everywhere. 708 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,280 He sold them all. He's minimalist because he just 709 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,720 wants to focus on his stuff. That's why like when he started 710 00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,680 getting involved in politics, I'm like, no, go back to being 711 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,920 an inventor. Don't, don't do this shit. 712 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,000 This is this is beyond you. Like this is just squabbling. 713 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,880 Is it? I think it's Squid Games. 714 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,040 Emily and I and Eddie were watching it, and there's a 715 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,120 character who looks like Asian Elon Musk in it. 716 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,520 Oh yeah, yeah, you could see that, definitely. 717 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,000 But dude, it's the the problem that we have. 718 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,480 Like after the Berlin Wall, nobody, nobody had to worry 719 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,960 anymore because the red threat was gone. 720 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,400 Russia was the the Soviet Union, not Russia, but it was called 721 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,720 the Soviet Union for many times or the USSR. 722 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,960 And that collapsed when that collapsed. 723 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,600 Became a problem. Yeah, because everybody was 724 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,240 working with the US saying, hey, protect us from the big red 725 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,760 threat because we had nuclear weapons. 726 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,760 We're the only country that had actually used nuclear weapons in 727 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,440 a conflict. No other country has. 728 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,160 They've only threatened, but they've never done it. 729 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,320 But because of the remembrance of what the United States did in 730 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,080 Japan, everybody's like, wow. And we have bombs that are far 731 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,480 worse than that now. And I just don't think anybody 732 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,040 will. Do it. 733 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,520 Yeah, I just. I don't think anybody will do it 734 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,680 because if they do it, it's mutual. 735 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,840 Amount of destruction that came from that was immense, like it 736 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:35,320 was so much. And to do that again, yeah. 737 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,520 It's a double sword. It's, it's a double edged sword 738 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:42,240 because you got to remember that Japan, Imperial Japan was, I 739 00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:44,520 mean, you want to talk about people who don't like each 740 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,120 other, old Japanese and old Chinese people, they do not like 741 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,920 each other. And there's a lot of. 742 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,240 Lot of hatred in the world, yeah. 743 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,480 Well, I I would say. This even old. 744 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,600 You, you take. I love the way where people like 745 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,480 to put racism on white people, because I'll tell you, the most 746 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,520 racist people are typically the people who are most racist 747 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,440 against their own race. Which is hilarious. 748 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,960 Racism everywhere, like even within like the Yeah, the same 749 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,000 color to color like South America to South America. 750 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,960 No, I'm in a different country, OK. 751 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,480 You see it in religion. You're all fucking humans. 752 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,960 We're all fucking humans at the end of the day. 753 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,200 We, we, we look for those imperfections and, and we use 754 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,080 that to be able to judge based off of survival and everything 755 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,280 like that. But dude, honestly, after that 756 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,320 happened because nobody cared, They're like, well, we can do 757 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:35,600 whatever. That's when people stopped 758 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,160 paying like because there was tariffs that the United States 759 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,040 had said like, Hey, you're going to pay us this and we're going 760 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,480 to protect everybody. That was the reason for it was 761 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,520 to protect the waters so that you could. 762 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,280 Feel, but if they're not feeling like they need that anymore 763 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,680 because there's not a big fat, which is then it just funny it 764 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,640 up. But that in I don't think that 765 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,640 pushed because American consumerism existed before that 766 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,120 right. Like what what do you think was 767 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,040 our largest push that changed Americans? 768 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,040 Because if we're the drivers of consumerism, what changed that 769 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,480 like in Americans? Was it the industrial era of 770 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,640 like, hey, we've got out of war and all of these massive 771 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,120 companies that have been created, we're like, well, we've 772 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,720 been making weapons and this and that. 773 00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:20,320 So what do we, what do we build now? 774 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,040 Well, let's make something that people can buy. 775 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,200 And so then that's what changed like or what do you think that 776 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,400 push was? I don't think it was there. 777 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,000 I think the the push was honestly, it was the opening up 778 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,160 of mass production. I mean, we're talking like the 779 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,680 1980s where China started. China was the biggest producer 780 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,400 of mass production products, and it's usually like plastics. 781 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:42,800 Yeah. Even. 782 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,840 Consumerism in America, I feel like started before the 80s, 783 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,200 right? No, but it's it's kind of ramped 784 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,120 up. It was higher. 785 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:52,120 Quality, yeah, it was higher quality like. 786 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,280 You. Yeah, I'm wondering what 787 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,000 started. Yes, it was much better quality 788 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,560 then, but our consumerism still was on the rise there. 789 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,080 I'm wondering what sparked that. Like what went oh, we can go. 790 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,680 Farther back than that you go back to Edward Bernays cause do 791 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,120 you think it was? The not having of the Great 792 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,760 Depression to like all of a sudden, hey, we have enough 793 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,240 money that we're not so starving and like, 'cause there wasn't 794 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,840 money for for wants even in the Great Depression that maybe it 795 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,240 was. Now there is the ability to even 796 00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:29,120 consider a want because before there was like you, there wasn't 797 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:34,480 the excess or even the money or whatever to have a warrant. 798 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,960 It was like, well, that doesn't exist. 799 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,000 You like you. Why even entertain that idea? 800 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,920 Because it's almost like fantasy versus now, you know, maybe 801 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,440 there was a change in our entire economic structure of the 802 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,360 Society of United States that it was like, hey, we went from this 803 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,280 Great Depression where people are, I don't even know if I can 804 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,400 have food today to hey, look, I've, I've got food. 805 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,240 Hey, look, I've got enough for shoes. 806 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,800 Hey, I've got enough for an extra pair of pants. 807 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,880 Hey, you know, I've got enough for this. 808 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,080 Like for this really cool thing they just put out. 809 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,480 I'm going to put a piece of art in my house. 810 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,600 Holy shit. Like I'm going to get this woven 811 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,680 rug because I can afford this. Like, I, I wonder if it was just 812 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,000 that from the like, hey, we've got nothing. 813 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,360 We've been. Well, you have to. 814 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,440 Remember. Before. 815 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,560 Before the Great Depression, it was a lot like now. 816 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,640 It was mass consumption, lots of spending. 817 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,640 Americans were lavish. We had the warring. 20s, yeah, 818 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,760 warring 20s were huge right before the collapse. 819 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,520 Even in the 1930s inventions in the 80s and or the 18 like 1880s 820 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,880 and stuff like the late 1890s look. 821 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,640 At the World Fair in Chicago. Pictures of that crazy. 822 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:56,280 And very, very elegant, very fancy, very decatent like types 823 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,800 of things back then. So what? 824 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,720 Yeah, that's interesting. We already had it. 825 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,600 And so this is what it is. It's a precursor. 826 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:04,840 It's like what we had talked about. 827 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,080 The common belief that people have is, and this is just my 828 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,040 theory, it's that people, and I'm sure there's others that 829 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,680 have the similar one, but history is not to be. 830 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,360 You don't, you don't learn history, so you don't repeat it. 831 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,320 That's inevitable. What you do is that you're 832 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,320 hoping that you can be able to pay attention so when the signs 833 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,080 start coming, you can start. Preparing. 834 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,800 And you can live through that. Because you understand history, 835 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,920 right? And if we know history, then 836 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,160 it's just going, hey, how can I prepare myself for what will 837 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,560 happen? Because if history repeats 838 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,760 itself and we've seen it happen, well, how do you prepare 839 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,120 yourself for that moment when it does happen then? 840 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,120 Well, because, I mean, right now the talk is that we're on the 841 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,960 verge of economic collapse. We've been there for a very long 842 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,160 time. Our, our monetary system is been 843 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,280 a Fiat system since Nixon pulled us off the gold, but we probably 844 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,560 didn't even have any gold after that. 845 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,200 I mean, the reason why we, we had that everything was based 846 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,160 off of gold because it was the weight of gold that you would 847 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,800 have to ship over. That's why. 848 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,200 So if your country needed that, you would send gold over to. 849 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,920 Them because this has been done. For centuries, for centuries on 850 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,560 boats. And now it's all digital, so 851 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,480 there's no real. Like here's some ones and zeros. 852 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,640 And that's why we get it, because of that, because we've 853 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,480 been pulled off of that one. Consumerism is now endless. 854 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,320 That's when I mean, you think back to the 60s and 70s, which 855 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,240 is the heyday of marketing. Like, you go back further than 856 00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:40,480 that would Edward Bernays, who is the godfather of modern 857 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,360 marketing or propaganda, which it still should be called. 858 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,240 You know, wouldn't that be funny? 859 00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:47,200 Like, oh, what do you do? I'm a propagandist. 860 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,040 Yeah. I. 861 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,120 Do I work on propaganda? What? 862 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,920 Yeah, I I sell shit. I sell phones. 863 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,360 I. Specialize in manipulating 864 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,120 people. And that's what they do, dude. 865 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,840 Like if. If you can say that I'm a master 866 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,480 manipulator. What, Yeah, I, I specialize in 867 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,760 manipulating people, in altering their emotional States and just 868 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,200 kind of fucking with them and seeing if I can get them to 869 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,200 notice they things they wouldn't normally do. 870 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,880 Not peer pressure or anything you know, just you know. 871 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,360 We'll think about it, dudes, like all of the biggest products 872 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:24,040 that are still here today were because of a way to to get the 873 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,800 masses to believe that there's absolute value. 874 00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:31,040 Yeah, and it changes your life in one way or the other. 875 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,160 Dude perfect example. Air Jordans. 876 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,080 Air Jordans from when I was a kid. 877 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,920 I remember watching. I used to love watching 878 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,400 basketball back in the day. Oh yeah, but Michael Jordan and 879 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,600 John Stockton. Scott Pudden, man. 880 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,760 Larry. Bugs. 881 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:54,640 Yeah, David Robinson, Spud Webb. I mean, these guys, like, how do 882 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,800 I know these things? Because these guys didn't live 883 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,640 like the assholes like LeBron James. 884 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,160 I didn't care anything about their fucking life. 885 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,160 I only knew them on the court. That's it. 886 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,800 Yeah, this is a random fact about Michael Jordan. 887 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,400 He was a habitual gambler, Bad gambler and all. 888 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,840 Of that. Yeah, his father was killed on 889 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,920 the side of the road by by a guy who stole his car, but they 890 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,040 still speculate that he owed money on it. 891 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,240 I mean, that's that's speculation, right? 892 00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:29,920 But the dude it it, it's because the one thing that what I love 893 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,640 about history and why I've been so eager to learn so much about 894 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,840 it is that it just keeps repeating. 895 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,840 It doesn't matter when, whether it's guys with swords, guns or 896 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,440 iPhones, it's the same thing. And when we start to see it, 897 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,640 it's a good thing because what happens after? 898 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,040 That's what we got to think about every time there's been a 899 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,520 collapse, there's a there's. A rebuild, yeah. 900 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:55,760 And then there's something better. 901 00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:01,400 And the thing that we'll never get away from is monetary reason 902 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,280 that that's just what our existence is. 903 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,080 We we base things off of a. Tangible life, like the talk we 904 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:11,600 had yesterday of change and change is hard and change is 905 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,160 growth most of the time so. Which is constant. 906 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,120 And yes, but we like to fight it because we like, I don't like 907 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:24,000 change, but yet everything in life is change and not allowing 908 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,600 it to grow because it's like the moment of Hey, I don't want to 909 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,520 do this or, oh, I want to be this version of myself. 910 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,480 But I know that that version of me doesn't do the things that 911 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,560 this version of me does. And I have to let go of this 912 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,000 version of me to become that version of me. 913 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,160 Like it's the same thing in that going, OK, we know that this 914 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,200 comes with history. And maybe we realize that this 915 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,560 version of us is kind of broken and, and need some help and kind 916 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,680 of fucked up and we're afraid to let go of this version because 917 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,280 we don't know what comes with that new version. 918 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,520 But that new version let's go of our broken, shameful, fucked up 919 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,600 version that we're hanging on to going, hey, there's a better 920 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,160 version waiting. But we got a really broken, 921 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,040 fucked up structure. So maybe we should start going 922 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,040 to the gym. Maybe we should pick up an apple 923 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,720 once in a while. Maybe we should, you know, put 924 00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:16,000 down a cheeseburger once a week and eat a salad. 925 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,280 Maybe we should drink some water every once in a blue moon, you 926 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,520 know, Maybe we should put our phone down for 10 minutes and 927 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,400 just go outside and touch grass like. 928 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,040 Those are all really altruistic things, right? 929 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,400 And and that's the it's not necessarily the problem, dude. 930 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,160 It's just a symptom because you take the Roaring 20s before the 931 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,600 Great Depression and the people were just playing fast and loose 932 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,560 with the stock market. That's what it was and everybody 933 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,120 based it off of that and then when it collapsed. 934 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,560 I wonder if they probably have the same restrictions back in 935 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,000 the 20s on the stock market that they didn't have. 936 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,600 It has to be a day trader to be a day trader because I feel like 937 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,880 you have to have a certain level either you have to, well, I know 938 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,800 you do because I tried to do it and it was like, oh, your fund 939 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,000 isn't large enough. And I was like, oh, OK. 940 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,800 And they're like you have to have at least $10,000 that you 941 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,440 play in on a day one, otherwise like in a funded account, 942 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,160 otherwise you're too much of A risk. 943 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,520 Well, the reason why it's, it's because you're, you look at it 944 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,440 from an investor's standpoint to be accredited investor without 945 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,000 any problems with, you don't even have to get a lawyer 946 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,200 involved. These are some of the stuff that 947 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,520 I've got to learn. Is to be an investor. 948 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,920 Yeah, to be an investor, you have to put like to be 949 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,160 accredited, you have to have $200,000. 950 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:38,280 You have to have a net worth of a minimum of $100,000, and then 951 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,440 if you're married, it has to be a combined net worth of 952 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,360 $300,000. So it doesn't matter if your 953 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:46,000 wife or your spouse or your partner has a job, you just have 954 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,120 to be a $300,000 combined. Yeah, yeah. 955 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,240 Or you can be an unaccredited investor. 956 00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:56,080 Well, there's a lot of risk. There's no safety guidelines, 957 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,120 there's nothing to protect you. If you're accredited, you're, 958 00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:01,200 you're protected, you're protected. 959 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,440 They there's ways that that money will be seen and, and, and 960 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,040 liquidated, right? That's why. 961 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,920 However, even if you are an unaccredited investor and you 962 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:18,160 make really stupid investments where you blow $100,000, you can 963 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:23,560 still write that off on your taxes as a loss over a certain 964 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,800 amount of time. Yeah, but that's the thing. 965 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,080 It's. Not the same and you don't get 966 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,640 it back the same, but you know it definitely. 967 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,840 Helps. But just like that, when you 968 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,000 brought up day traders, like the people who control the stock 969 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,760 market aren't the traders, it's the companies and the 970 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,800 speculation. I was just guessing that in the 971 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,920 20s they might not have had that same barrier to entry and that 972 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,320 could have caused it because of Hey, so many people playing fast 973 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,680 and loose and then it oh, hey, a lot of people lost. 974 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,520 But then that was what it when I looked into it, it was like, 975 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,920 well, why in the crap does this exist? 976 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,000 And it was like, oh, because a lot of people lost their homes, 977 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,480 their lot, like a lot of their livelihood on it because they 978 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,720 were playing fast and loose with everything. 979 00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:06,600 And I'm like, I'm not playing fast and loose. 980 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,640 I'm making money on the little bit I'm putting in. 981 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,760 But now you're putting on guardrails going, Oh, you can't 982 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,000 do this. And I'm like, you guys are it's. 983 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,640 Because of that, it's because of. 984 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,680 That because. It's so fast and loose and and 985 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,760 now, dude, I mean, it's no different from today. 986 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,240 Like The funny thing is, is that to give people everyday people, 987 00:52:25,240 --> 00:52:30,040 the idea that they could be able to make so much money off of the 988 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,320 stock market by just investing their morning into doing it is 989 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,960 absolutely asinine because those people who take. 990 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,320 Takes a lot of. They're making money off of you. 991 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,240 Well, they're not taking money off the stock. 992 00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,840 Brandy did that for years. Oh yeah. 993 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,880 And he did. He, I mean, he but he's done 994 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,960 well in his life anyway. But I don't think he's made like 995 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,480 astronomical life changing money on the stock market. 996 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,760 He's just probably made a decent retirement that he's not had the 997 00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,920 stress from doing that. But so I do think that someone 998 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,960 could, but the amount of time that you have to invest into 999 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:08,760 that is still more than I think most people want to invest into 1000 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,680 that type of thing. So most of those are like, Oh 1001 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,120 well, I just want to trade some or do this and it's like, that's 1002 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,800 fine, but just invest in a long term stock because most stocks 1003 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,840 are just long term plays if and. Even then I. 1004 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,440 Pelosi follow Pelosi or you know, any of those and be like, 1005 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,840 all right, well, what are they buying and selling and, and do 1006 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,040 something like that, you know, because there's way better ways 1007 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,640 to navigate it than having to invest all your time and money, 1008 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,000 you know, and and energy into it. 1009 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,880 But well, and you can see you. Like watch the stock market and 1010 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,640 the only thing you need to do is watch in the stock market based 1011 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,440 on what's coming out of Washington and when they make 1012 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,760 changes. Because I guarantee that the the 1013 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:56,000 speculation and trade, even for Pelosi has died down to a very, 1014 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,840 very small meow. Oh yes, because it has been cut 1015 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,880 off. Why would a company be like, 1016 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,560 hey, make sure this passes, make sure there's Bill Pat, throw 1017 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,800 this into the bill so we can pass. 1018 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,200 And I'm sure that there were certain companies that got in 1019 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,120 the last bill. Every single one of them are 1020 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,160 because remember, there's opportunity. 1021 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,960 People are going to seek it out. Well, here's how you do it. 1022 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,040 Then. You just create an algorithm or 1023 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:25,040 a thing within chat that pulls the entire messaging of every 1024 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,440 bill that gets put into play. And then it searches for any 1025 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:32,040 company or any anything who would benefit from that. 1026 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,240 And then it watches their stock within a certain time frame and 1027 00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:40,000 then places, you know, investments in those stocks 1028 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,840 within that certain time frame and pulls them out within, you 1029 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:47,160 know, 306090, you know, and watches for dips within certain 1030 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,000 markers and. You know the other part too 1031 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,480 though, man, is these people who own the large companies, these 1032 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,040 are oligarchs. People like to call them 1033 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,120 millionaires and billionaires. They're oligares way beyond, 1034 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,200 yeah. They're oligarchs, so they they 1035 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,240 live a beyond the law. And it's just, it's always been 1036 00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:04,680 that way. It's not like, oh, we're in a 1037 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,800 better society. No, we're not much different 1038 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,440 from the Romans to. The oh, yeah, because we've 1039 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,600 talked about it. It's funny how often we were 1040 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,880 like, oh, the term serfs and then we were talking about how 1041 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,480 serfs were and how, how Oh, well, they were serving those 1042 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:22,240 ones and peasants were just people asking the the king or 1043 00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:25,920 the Lord, Hey, help me to feed my family. 1044 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,160 Let me come help work in your Kingdom or do something so you 1045 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,720 could give me some money. And, and that's very similar to 1046 00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:34,240 us where we're going to these billionaires going, please, 1047 00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:38,160 please, Lord, give me a job so I might feed my family. 1048 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,160 Please give me couple nickels so I can buy some grumpets. 1049 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:47,680 The whole if, if Bezos or Elon just took all their money and 1050 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,960 they just took half of their fortune to give it, everybody 1051 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,200 would have all the money they need and you would collapse the 1052 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,320 dollar. You would collapse it completely 1053 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,680 because nothing would be valuable, nothing. 1054 00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,400 And so that's actually a really good thing. 1055 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,840 Become valuable your skill set.

The big How many people do you 1058 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,320 think? Actually have skill sets these 1059 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,160 days. 6. Yeah, probably right. 1060 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,600 I mean, you take people like I, I have a a guy that I know in my 1061 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:22,040 neighborhood, super nice guy, cool guy, full stack developer 1062 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,800 for many years, worked for this company forever. 1063 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,360 And he was told like, learn to code and you'll make money. 1064 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:30,960 And he did. Dude, he's got a crazy house. 1065 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,080 He worked his ass off. Good for him, Lost. 1066 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,680 His job just like that, just like that. 1067 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,320 And they're like, sorry, we're downsizing. 1068 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,440 And there was no loyalty, no nothing. 1069 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,480 And So what does he do now that happens? 1070 00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,720 Everywhere. He's in the medical field. 1071 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,320 Oh, that's cool. But does he like? 1072 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,080 Woodworking, yeah. Now he does, but the thing it's 1073 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:54,400 it's the difference over there is we well, I go back to this, 1074 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,640 this clip I saw with Jerry Seinfeld and he goes, when did 1075 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,920 it all become about money? It used to become about your 1076 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,960 cool job. You would ask a guy going what 1077 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,400 what is your job? And he would say his job be 1078 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,280 like, oh man, that must be cool. But you never talked about 1079 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,920 money. If somebody asks like how much 1080 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,120 you make, we get by, we get by like and and you'd say that to a 1081 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,880 guy with a, a fucking Rolls Royce and a big ass motor home 1082 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,480 and stuff like that. Like you get by. 1083 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,040 Yeah, see, that was keeping up with the Joneses then was the 1084 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,360 things you bought. But it's no longer that. 1085 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,600 It's the amount of money you have. 1086 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,840 Like you got these crazy bitches online saying like I'm not going 1087 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,320 to date a guy unless. He's 6 feet. 1088 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,120 Tall. And makes sense. 1089 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,200 He's 6 figures, yeah. And he's this average? 1090 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:38,840 Man, yeah, average male American is 44,000. 1091 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,800 That's the average income in the United States at this time 1092 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,400 anywhere. USA 44,000, dude. 1093 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,120 And it's this idea of just like what you were talking about. 1094 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,240 The more we we believe we have, the less we value it. 1095 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,560 And so where you remember when Biden bucks came out during the, 1096 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,360 the pandemic, like that's when we started. 1097 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,200 Like there's a reason why you see a lot of those shitty 1098 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:07,600 Corvettes in places and I call them shitty because they but 1099 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,640 they're Corvettes. And it's like, man, if you 1100 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,680 couldn't steep any lower, you've got to you've got to copy an 1101 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:20,200 Italian automaker because nobody wants to buy your car stick the 1102 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,280 same thing. But they couldn't because 1103 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,120 they're addicted to the consumerism. 1104 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,560 Even the companies are slowly to Walmart. 1105 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:32,120 Walmart used to be the place where the the founder of 1106 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:36,680 Walmart, his theory was stack it high and sell it cheap. 1107 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,360 Like he was the king of that. And then now it's like it's all 1108 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,320 about the money. What could Walmart do? 1109 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:46,240 Fuck Elon and and Bezos. What could Walmart do for the 1110 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,920 world? What could they do? 1111 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,240 Holy. Shit, they've already got the 1112 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,320 logistics in place. They could feed people, clothe 1113 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,240 people and give money. They they could. 1114 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,440 Everyone's got, well, there's every large entity has that 1115 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,760 capability, but the problem is every large money it or they're 1116 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:04,960 in it for the money. That's it. 1117 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:06,880 But that's the thing, it's like the same. 1118 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,880 What is the value? What is the value? 1119 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,280 Of the money. Of the money, what does it do 1120 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,000 for you? Like you, we know past. 1121 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,000 A certain point, nothing that. Have wealth or perceived wealth 1122 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:23,320 and you talk to them and they are sallow, shallow, 1123 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:28,120 materialistic humans that make sounds with their mouths but 1124 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:29,960 they don't really offer any value. 1125 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,400 You know, there was something I saw and it was what does someone 1126 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,000 who's absolutely poor, like bro comas have in common with 1127 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,440 someone who's incredibly wealthy? 1128 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:44,040 They both have too much time and absolutely like no purpose. 1129 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,720 They don't feel like they have value because it's what the fuck 1130 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,280 am I? Like what am I doing? 1131 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,800 Then they're always just trying to find ways to fill their time 1132 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,320 to go Oh, here. And like we've talked about 1133 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:55,960 having friends going, Oh, well, I've got this money. 1134 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,200 So do people only like me because I've got money? 1135 00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:02,120 Like, are they only here because of this? 1136 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,600 And then you distance yourself, and then you distance yourself 1137 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,720 from those people too, going, oh, they're only here for my 1138 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,960 money. Or is that all of them because 1139 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,160 they have money? Yeah. 1140 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,800 And so it's our perception one way or the other of these other 1141 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,560 people. It's like it's such a weird, 1142 01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,360 it's always the US and them. It's finding the differences 1143 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,440 instead of the similarities. Like, hey, what's different 1144 01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,560 between you and I? How, how can I see what's not 1145 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,600 common ground between you and me? 1146 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,440 Like instead of going, oh, I wonder what we have in common. 1147 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,640 I wonder what you and I have that we have common ground on. 1148 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,800 I wonder where we're similar. I wonder where our struggles are 1149 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,040 the exact same. I bet you're fucking anxious too 1150 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,240 sometimes, aren't you? I bet, I bet you feel sad, 1151 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,240 right? Do you ever feel angry like, 1152 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,360 yeah, all these these really simple basic things, like do you 1153 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,560 ever feel like you're like you're not doing enough? 1154 01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,960 Do you, do you ever feel like you don't have value? 1155 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,880 Like how many things do humans as just a human to human basis 1156 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:09,960 we totally miss? Do you ever feel like you're not 1157 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,960 being heard? And, you know, like, how many 1158 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,200 times do we just miss the mark with the person that we're 1159 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,840 sitting across from going what's what's different between us, you 1160 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,880 know? Well, I mean, that's, you know, 1161 01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,760 for me and I'm not going to go off too far on this. 1162 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,800 Well, I always say that and then I go but. 1163 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,760 Welcome to the sesh. Yeah, welcome to the sesh. 1164 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:35,720 And I would say like I've been pulled more towards the A, a 1165 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,280 model of Christ. And I'm saying that not 1166 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:42,040 Christian belief because I don't want to well, everything every. 1167 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:46,320 Denomination something. Yeah, no, I just based off of of 1168 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,200 what I got in there, like what was one of the cool things that 1169 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,040 I read about within the Bible, And that was when Christ would 1170 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,680 say, don't take anything with you, don't take food, don't take 1171 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:59,120 money, Just go out and be with the people and you'll be, you'll 1172 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,320 find that like when you go out there and you befriend people. 1173 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,200 Like this is the reason, like the Marine Corps, let's use the 1174 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,480 Marine Corps as an example. The Marine Corps is by far one 1175 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,120 of the last true brotherhoods on this planet. 1176 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,760 And the reason why I say that is that a Marine, if he meets 1177 01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,720 another Marine, he will do anything for him. 1178 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,960 Like if James met a Marine that was down in his leg, maybe he 1179 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,440 might help him depending on where he's at. 1180 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,840 But I've seen Navy guys shit all over homeless dudes. 1181 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,200 Like I remember very distinctly, I was coming back from MEPs 1182 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,400 signing up in Salt Lake, had to go stay there overnight and piss 1183 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,080 in the morning. And then like, it was funny, 1184 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,120 even the recruiter was telling me he's like, hey, there's a 1185 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,520 couple of cute chicks here. So look, if you bang one of 1186 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,840 them, make sure you piss right after because you don't want 1187 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,240 that semen in your in your urine in the morning. 1188 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,280 And I'm like, good to know I didn't never even crossed my 1189 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,240 mind, only a sailor's mind. Hey, buddy, if you fuck her, 1190 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,000 make sure you use a robber, you know? 1191 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,880 But that's exactly how they were with everything. 1192 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:03,200 But I remember we were driving back and we were getting off the 1193 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:07,320 freeway to get to Provo and there was a guy on the end of 1194 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,840 the street, which was very rare at this time to see a homeless 1195 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,840 guy on the street. And this guy was right off of 1196 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:17,400 the off ramp and he had a sign and saying need help, please. 1197 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,000 And the sailor rolls down his window, yells out the window 1198 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,280 said join the Navy or get a fucking job, you bum. 1199 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:29,720 And what a way to that That echoes in my head any time that 1200 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,760 I see somebody on the side of the road because it's not for me 1201 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,640 to decide who they are. Like, you know, my son was with 1202 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,680 me and I, I gave the last two dollars I had in my wallet to 1203 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,560 this woman says, hey, I'm looking for something to eat. 1204 01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,960 Is there anything give me? I said here have my last two 1205 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,680 dollars. And she's like, oh, I don't want 1206 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:48,720 to take it if it's your last two. 1207 01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,720 And I said nonsense. And I said, you know, take it 1208 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,480 and if you can use it, great. And she goes, I'll pay you back. 1209 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,400 And I said, what for? Use it, take care of it. 1210 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,400 I don't care if it's two dollars, $2000 or $200,000. 1211 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,400 If I have it, I should be able to give it. 1212 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,880 And that's where I think like I, I look for opportunities, not 1213 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,120 necessarily to make my life better, but to be able to make 1214 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,000 somebody else's life better because that in turn, I'm 1215 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,080 helping to be able to create a better world around me by being 1216 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,440 able to like, people love people around me despite who they are. 1217 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,400 Like when you said that, I was just like, dude, I totally 1218 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,720 spaced it, my ADHD brain. But like, Bennett and I were 1219 01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,640 texting and he's like, dude, I'd love to get together and talk 1220 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,360 and just go over everything. He's like, you know, I don't 1221 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,080 have to worry about you, you know, asking about money or 1222 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,600 something like that. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's 1223 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,400 not my thing. Like I don't if if. 1224 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,240 I needed help. He is as a person. 1225 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,520 It's never been about. Yeah. 1226 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,800 But you notice with even with him is that it's like he states 1227 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,200 like, are they just talking to me for my money or the perceived 1228 01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,640 money that they think I have? But because I've met people, 1229 01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,640 because I know people, because I've done things, are they only 1230 01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:59,240 interested in my money? And that's where I start to 1231 01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:03,120 think like, if I just am good to people because I'm good to 1232 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,840 people for no reason other than just to be good to people, then 1233 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,760 I'm going to build immense amount of value. 1234 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,600 And then that other part where we can serve each other, which 1235 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,680 is we shouldn't be ashamed to ask for help from our fellow, 1236 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,800 any, any of our friends, our man, our community, our 1237 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,680 government. And the reason why we shouldn't 1238 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,120 feel ashamed about that one is that not everybody is going to 1239 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,160 have a smooth ride. There's no promise, there's no 1240 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:31,640 guarantee, And there's a lot of suffering, undue suffering that 1241 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:36,000 can be undone by following that Christian, you know, theology 1242 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,360 over there, right? Love your neighbor and love 1243 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,200 yourself. Yeah, but the thing too is you 1244 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,600 got to love your neighbor too. You can't just go, yeah, I'm 1245 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,120 great and go fuck yourself if you can't make it. 1246 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,160 Yeah, we have to help. But I think if you truly love 1247 01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:53,440 yourself, like really love yourself, actually, it's not the 1248 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,240 oh, I'm great, I'm this, it's you're going to love other 1249 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,200 people that is going to include your neighbor. 1250 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,960 But if you, but I think most of us don't start with that first 1251 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,440 part and so we don't, it's hard to do. 1252 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,480 The second part, I don't think they understand that. 1253 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,480 I don't think a lot of people understand how to be able to 1254 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,320 even love themselves because they're just like, So what? 1255 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,240 What? Because they they base it off of 1256 01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:13,720 the value of their monetary gain. 1257 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:15,240 Yeah. You know what? 1258 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,560 What kind of job do I have? How much money do I make? 1259 01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,360 What else? And I had a conversation about 1260 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:24,680 that yesterday, last night is he was talking about how, you know, 1261 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,640 the last couple months there's been kind of his wife has been 1262 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,320 the breadwinner and that and I was like, I totally can relate. 1263 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:37,520 I understand that like it can be very weird and as a man, like 1264 01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:41,520 almost demoralizing because our value, our perceived value is, 1265 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,840 is from the monetary like what we bring in. 1266 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,320 And if we're not doing that in that moment, it's what, what is 1267 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:49,600 my value? What is my worth? 1268 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:54,000 What am I outside of, you know, this dollar amount that I'm 1269 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,280 providing? And it can be really hard 1270 01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,440 sometimes to step outside of that and go, Hey, shit, as a 1271 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,280 human, there's so much more immense value that we hold. 1272 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,560 And like you said, it's we get caught so much up. 1273 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:10,320 I think in me, me, me, but not because it's a oh, hey, I love 1274 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:11,960 me. It's I'm really struggling. 1275 01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,920 I don't feel OK or something's wrong. 1276 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,640 Something's disconnected. And so, and because of that, 1277 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:20,640 because we don't have that love, it's harder to feel that really 1278 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,840 closeness or, you know, for a lot of people, the willingness 1279 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,360 to go and love another person or go hey, just for no reason, a 1280 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:33,520 stranger like someone of hey, I'm giving something of me just 1281 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,200 because like there's nothing you can do to repay this. 1282 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,200 There's nothing you need to do to repay this. 1283 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:43,360 This is just because you know. Yeah, truly, because just 1284 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,240 because, and that's that's the thing that a lot of people have 1285 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:51,120 a it's, it's a rarity to receive true charity. 1286 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,960 Charity isn't feeling bad for somebody and giving us something 1287 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,080 they don't. But charity is smiling at 1288 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,960 somebody. It's saying hi to them. 1289 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,680 It's meeting somebody new and feeling a connection with them 1290 01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,880 and tell them, hey, I love you man, I love you. 1291 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:09,520 Truly giving of you to that. That's what charity is. 1292 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,680 You know, it's funny, you got a movie called Pay It Forward 1293 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,200 where a little kid inspires people to do a decent fucking 1294 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:18,319 thing. That's all. 1295 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,560 Then they go extreme, you know? But The thing is, we should be 1296 01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,840 extreme with that. We should be extreme of showing 1297 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,640 our compassion and and love towards our fellow man. 1298 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,760 Because if we do that, there's more opportunities, more 1299 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,279 opportunities for all of us to grow. 1300 01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:33,640 Like I would love to go back to a time where it's just like, 1301 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,439 what kind of job do you have? Oh, that's cool. 1302 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,880 Like that's it, that's it.

To not even ask about that most 1305 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,439 of the time. I know a lot of people are very 1306 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,399 focused on it because that's what conversations are. 1307 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,840 That's how my family was always like, oh, you know, go meet with 1308 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:55,640 grandpa. Oh, what are you doing for work? 1309 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,160 What are you doing in school?

Like with my siblings, I know if 1321 01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,279 I made more money they would respect me and then still not 1322 01:09:32,279 --> 01:09:35,359 talk to me because then now they would create something else. 1323 01:09:35,359 --> 01:09:37,560 They'd be like, well, he's too wealthy to talk to me. 1324 01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,319 It's always finding the differences, not our 1325 01:09:41,319 --> 01:09:44,000 commonalities. You know, and it's it's like 1326 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,279 what you have with your brother, like you, you talk with your 1327 01:09:46,279 --> 01:09:48,600 brother and you guys have discussions and it doesn't 1328 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,000 always have to be money, even though it always goes to it 1329 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:52,920 because it's part of your upbringing. 1330 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,560 But at the same time, it's like, you know it, you have that 1331 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,920 connection beyond that where you stay in touch beyond money. 1332 01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:02,880 Like if you you know that because your brother, I mean, 1333 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,000 we're struggling, but your brother hasn't been like, oh, I 1334 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,760 can't talk to you poor person, right? 1335 01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:11,400 He's not like, fuck that guy.

Because what I see is, is that 1403 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,920 one of the things that I love about Americans and you look 1404 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,160 throughout history is they are the most innovative and fastest 1405 01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,080 moving group of people that have ever existed. 1406 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,920 We don't we are still so young that we're developing a culture. 1407 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:57,720 I know people go Americans don't have culture. 1408 01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,680 We're too young to have culture. We're building it slowly. 1409 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:05,720 And it's the idea of the of the idea of Americans and that is 1410 01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,560 that you can make anything, you can build anything, you can 1411 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:12,760 become anything you want. And it it just takes a lot of 1412 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,480 work and you got to understand who you are. 1413 01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:17,120 But more importantly, who gives a shit about all that? 1414 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:21,560 One, If we can have this reckoning, we're going to see 1415 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,560 people starting to get closer. We're going to see stronger 1416 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,880 communities. We're going to see, and this 1417 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,280 will go on the rise too. Churches will explode because 1418 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:33,600 people will need to be around others to feel comfort because 1419 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,120 their money can keep comforting. Well dude, how many of these 1420 01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,480 jobs are going to disappear? Not just because of AI, just 1421 01:14:39,480 --> 01:14:42,360 because it's needed. If I don't have money to buy a 1422 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,360 stupid subscription for a fucking box that shows up once a 1423 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,280 month of a bunch of random shit that somebody threw in there. 1424 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:51,960 We are also thinking about it too though, like how many 1425 01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:56,440 companies are just software ones or support for that, or all 1426 01:14:56,440 --> 01:14:58,720 these other ones where it's like, OK, how much of that is 1427 01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,680 replaced even by AI that does OK? 1428 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:06,160 Well, we do all of this in our workings now, OK, Well now it 1429 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:11,360 needs 100th of the manpower to maintain and manage this stuff. 1430 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,840 So yeah, I get comfortable I guess. 1431 01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,400 Smoke more. Weed, yeah, real smoke more 1432 01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:18,080 weed, yeah. And. 1433 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,400 And ponder, because that's usually where this shit comes 1434 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:21,800 up. But TuneIn next week. 1435 01:15:22,440 --> 01:15:23,640 Yeah, TuneIn, next week.
